Application filed October 13, 1902. Serial No. 127,135. (N0 model- Toall whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, .IAN KULHNEK, a subject of the Emperor ofAustria-Hungary, residing at Prague, Austria-Hungary, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Provisional or Permanent Walls,of which the following is a specification.

The object of the present invention is to provide new construction ofprovisional or permanent Walls for buildings erected for temporary orpermanent use. Such walls preferably consist of narrow parallelsheathings between which at suitable distances studs in the shape ofpipes or tu-bes and preferably of square cross-section are arranged, inwhich studsvertical rods may be embedded having their upper parts firmlyconnected by rails.

In the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specification, Figurel shows such a wall in perspective View. Fig. 2 is a longitudinalsection. on line C D of Fig. 1. Fig. 4t is a cross-section on line E Fof Fig. 1.

In building the improvedv walls two paral-Yy lel sheathings c. and b areerected upona` .titions join the Walls I erect posts or studs in theform of tubes n, preferably made of the same material as the sheathings.The studs 'nl are connected with each other and with the plates of thesheathin gs in any ordinary manner, as by nails, screws, dac. In thetubular studs fnfvertical rods p are placed, and then Fig. 3 is across-section beton, grout, or mortar isilled in, so as to form compactpillars q.

In places where it is necessary for the strength of the buildinghorizontal rails r Aare employed to connect the vertical rods p.

The rails and rods, which may be made of metal or any/other suitablematerial, may be 'connected in any convenient manner-for instance, asindicated in the drawings.`

The empty spaces between adjacent studs Vmay be filled with anyinsulating or iireproof material, such as asbestos fiber or sand with orwithout the addition of mortar, or may be left empty, if desired.

Walls erected in the described manner posl sess great stability, arefireproof and nonheat-conducting, and may be used with adinner and outersurfaces, Ytubular studs between the inner and outerv sheathing, mortarlling said studs, metal rods embedded in the mortar filling, andcross-rails connecting the rods of adjacent studs, substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
